Autorenporträt
Tobias George Smollett was a Scottish writer and surgeon, born on March 19, 1721, in Dalquhurn, Scotland. He gained recognition for his picaresque novels, which followed the adventures of colorful, often roguish protagonists. His most notable works include The Adventures of Roderick Random, The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, and The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. These novels were highly influential, particularly in shaping the development of the British novel, and had a lasting impact on later writers, including Charles Dickens. Smollett s works were characterized by vivid storytelling, humor, and sharp social commentary, often exploring the challenges faced by the lower classes and the absurdities of human nature. In addition to his literary career, Smollett trained as a surgeon, which influenced some of his writing, especially his depiction of medical matters. He spent the latter part of his life in Italy, where he died on September 17, 1771, at the age of 50. Smollett s legacy as one of the most important early English novelists continues to be celebrated. He was survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Smollett, and had a sister, Jean Smollett.
